Podcasting combines the freedom of blogging with digital audio technology to create an almost endless supply of content.

­It is a free service that allows Internet users to pull audio files (typically MP3s) from a podcasting Web site to listen to on a computer or any portable media player.

The term comes from a combination of the words iPod (a personal digital audio player made by Apple) and broadcasting.

­Unlike Internet radio, users do not have to 'tune in' to a particular broadcast. Instead, they download the podcast on demand or subscribe via an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed, which automatically downloads the podcast to a computers. The technology is similar to that used by TiVo, a ­personal video recorder that lets users set which programs they'd like to record and then automatically records those programs for later viewing.

  • Rubrics have become popular with teachers as a means of communicating expectations for an assignment, providing focused feedback on works in progress, and grading final products. A commonly accepted definition is a document that articulates the expectations for an assignment by listing the criteria, or what counts, and describing levels of quality from excellent to poor.
